Simple Ingredients for Crockpot Jalapeño Popper Corn Dip

This creamy corn dip with jalapeños relies on simple ingredients you likely already have in your pantry or fridge. Here are the highlights:

• Fire-roasted corn: Adds a smoky depth you won’t get with plain corn. Canned is a huge time-saver!
• Jalapeños: Fresh, diced jalapeños bring just the right amount of heat. Don’t like it too spicy? Remove the seeds completely.
• Cream cheese and sour cream: These create the ultra-smooth and creamy base that makes this dip crave-worthy.
• Beef bacon: Brings a crispy, salty kick to every bite. Cook and crumble it ahead of time to save a step!

Shopping Hack: You can swap fresh jalapeños for pickled if you’re in a rush—they’re pre-diced and add a tangy twist.

Jake’s Tips for the Best Crockpot Jalapeño Popper Corn Dip

• Use full-fat dairy for the creamiest results—it makes all the difference.
• Want extra smokiness? Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika or a splash of liquid smoke before cooking.
• If your bacon isn’t crispy enough, pop it into the air fryer for a few minutes to get that perfect crunch.
• For make-ahead magic, combine all ingredients (except toppings) in the crockpot insert, cover, and refrigerate. When ready, pop it into the slow cooker and cook as directed.
• Leftovers? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat.
